Brothers and sisters do not always get along. Describe the kinds of problems this discord creates in families and the best way to handle a situation like this

Having siblings definitely has its ups and downs. There are lots of good things about having a brother or sister, like, having someone to talk to, someone to hang out with, or when you’re younger, even someone to play with. But, it’s not always fine and dandy or all smiles. Brothers and sisters are almost always compelled to fight, argue, and disagree with each other. It’s pretty much inevitable and there’s nothing really you can do about it. It starts from early ages like when kids are young and fight over simple stuff like toys or more complex things like attention. But as they get older, it gets worse. Around the teenage years is when most siblings clash because they’re coming into their own person and they all have their own views, opinions, and thoughts so they don’t always agree. They all want to be right and they all want to be in control so of course that’s going to create problems. What you can do to help minimize these sibling rivalries is by helping them see each other’s point of views and taking them in to consideration. Help them to be a little more selfless and always keep an open mind. They need to understand that it’s ok to disagree with each other but no disagreement should go too far and be too serious. Also, teach them to remember that they are family and they need to stick together and no fight or disagreement is more important than that.
